dive into the cupboard and ...

chicken soup and peppered cream cheese on toasted bread chunks

one road yummy cookbooks effortlessly lead me onto is larder cupboard fun. i don't know what it is, or why. but i'm looking at mouth watering recipes and a mechanism inside my head goes off and screams, what shall we do with what we've got anyway? this time around i remembered i had some dry mushroom soup in one or other container. too right, only it turned out to be chicken. i fried a small onion and a sliced cornichon into a little olive oil and added some leftover marinated artichoke and a good few turns of freshly grounded black pepper. while snapping the coriander off the life saving plant in the window sill, i grabbed some left over cream from the fridge and poured this in, after i'd added the obligatory cup of water and dry soup sachet. the result? a surprisingly healthy tasting little gem of an instant soup! do try this at home, chances are you will be surprised.

Wow, Kers♥ that really looks delish! I wish I could be adventurous with the food in my larder...if I had some! I have stories to tell...gonna write some for the blog and facebook when I get a chance soon. I've been in the twilight zone this week!

I'm a food lover so every single picture you post about food turns my mouth wet. Artichokes...hmmmm

I already have two small beautiful things for you kept on my room locker. I promise to have it finished before the end of June (sorry, those are -unfortunately- my first free days after this year).Big kisses nadine, you're a sweetheart!
